We will be facing a transition period from Summer to Winter, thus the probability of rain and thunderstorms is expected to be low. 4 VISAS & TRAVEL DOCUMENTS To travel to Swaziland you must have a valid passport or travel document with at least two consecutive blank pages in your passport, which lie side by side when it is open (i.e. left and a right hand page). Your passport must also be valid for at least six months. Delegates holding passports or travel documents from Angola will be required to apply for Visas at least one month prior to their intended date of entry into Swaziland. For further information please call the Ministry of Home Affairs on + 268 404 2941 or contact the Swazi diplomatic mission in your country. If you want to travel to Swaziland’s neighbouring countries and back you are advised to apply for a multiple-entry visa. Some non – SADC country nationals from countries such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Uganda, Nigeria, Germany, France and others will also require visas to enter Swaziland. Delegates from these countries are also advised to contact the Swaziland Diplomatic mission in their countries or the Swaziland Ministry of Home Affairs for further details. 5 TRAVELLING TO & FROM SWAZILAND By Air Most people arrive in Swaziland by land through South Africa or Mozambique, but it is possible to fly in. Matsapha International Airport (often called “Manzini”) is 24km from Ezulwini (the area where the meetings will be held). One major airline, Swazi Airlink, currently operates from the airport, flying to destinations in South Africa. Swazi Airlink , a joint venture between the Swazi government and South African Airways, services OR Tambo (Johannesburg International) which is about a 45 minute flight. If you are travelling to Swaziland via OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg please ensure that your luggage is tagged right through to Matsapha from your city of departure. If you don’t or are not able to, you will have to collect your luggage at OR Tambo, go out through customs and immigration, and then back through security and immigration again. This may create difficulties if, for example, you do not have a valid visa for South Africa. You cannot change money at the Matsapha airport and there is no ATM so please make sure you have enough Rand or Emalangeni at hand. Please NOTE that you will also be required to pay a E50 departure tax before you can board your flight when you leave Swaziland – so make sure that you do not to spend all your money on those Swazi souvenirs! By road With the exception of the Lomahasha and Mhlumeni border posts in the north east of the country, which are entry points to Mozambique, Swaziland’s border posts are all with South Africa. They are all open seven days a week. Crossing the borders is usually straightforward, you simply have to show your passport and pay a E50 vehicle tax for non-Swaziland registered vehicles. The main border posts and their operating times are: - 2 - VERSION 3: 8 FEB 2010 BORDERING BORDER POST OPERATING HOURS COUNTRY Lomahasha - Namaacha Mozambique (Mozambique) Open 7am - 8pm.

Wearing seat belts is compulsory. If an official or royal motorcycle motorcade approaches, you must pull over and stop. The speed limit is 80km/h on the open road rising to 120km/h on the national highway. In built up areas it is between 40 - 60km/h. If in doubt, drive at the lower end of the scale. Transportation Whilst in Swaziland Transport from and to the airport will be provided for all delegates as indicated on their registration forms. Local transportation between the hotels and conference venue will also be provided. Please forward your completed registration forms with your selected hotel details and flight details by 19 February 2010 in order for us to arrange for your pick up and drop off services. All completed registration forms must be submitted to the following: - 3 - VERSION 3: 8 FEB 2010 Riccardo Kruger (SWASA): [email protected] , and Connie Masilo (SADC Secretariat): [email protected] 6 HEALTH Most of Swaziland is free from Malaria including Ezulwini where the meeting will be held. We advise that if you anticipate traveling outside of the Mbabane - Manzini area to a malaria area it is recommended that you take prophylactics before departure and the necessary precautions while in the area (e.g. protective clothing, insect repellents). We have a Government Referral Hospital within 15kms of the meeting area. A good standard of medical assistance, including 24hr trauma care is available at Mbabane Private Clinic. For specialized treatment however, transfer to South Africa may be necessary. We strongly advise you to take appropriate health insurance prior to your departure that includes cover for treatment in South Africa where first class health care is available. If you are coming from a Yellow fever infected country, or have recently visited one, you will require a Yellow Fever Certificate to enter Swaziland, i.e. Brazil, certain South American neighbouring countries and central Africa. Without the necessary certificate you will be refused entry. Whilst the SADC Secretariat and the hosts will do everything they can to make your stay safe and comfortable, they are not responsible for participants’ medical or other emergencies and delegates are strongly advised to obtain suitable travel insurance. 7 MONEY Currency The unit of currency in Swaziland is the Lilangeni - plural Emalangeni (E) - which is fixed to the rand (1 Rand = 1 Lilangeni). South African Rands are accepted everywhere and there’s no need to change them. In fact, some outside tourist areas will only accept the South African notes. Emalangeni are difficult to exchange for other currencies outside Swaziland, so you should reconvert before you leave. If you are leaving through the airport you could use your last E50 for the compulsory departure tax. Credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops but not for the purchase of petrol.

  • SWAZILAND 597 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © (Hello) 268 %
    © Lonely Planet Publications 597 S w a z i l a n d Embedded between Mozambique and South Africa, the kingdom of Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa. What the country lacks in size it makes up for in its rich culture and heritage, and relaxed ambience. With its laid-back, friendly people and relative lack of racial animosity, it’s a complete change of pace from its larger neighbours. SWAZILAND Visitors can enjoy rewarding and delightfully low-key wildlife watching, adrenaline-boost- ing activities, stunning mountain panoramas and lively traditions. Swaziland also boasts superb walking and high-quality handicrafts. Overseeing the kingdom is King Mswati III, one of three remaining monarchs in Africa. The monarchy has its critics, but combined with the Swazis’ distinguished history of resistance to the Boers, the British and the Zulus, it has fostered a strong sense of national pride, and local culture is flourishing. This is exemplified in its national festivals – the Incwala ceremony and the Umhlanga (Reed) dance (see the boxed text, p607 ). The excellent road system makes Swaziland easy to get around. Accommodation includes a decent network of hostels, family-friendly hotels and upscale retreats. Many travellers make a flying visit on their way to South Africa’s Kruger National Park, but it’s well worth lingering here if you can.
